Abstract:
:A cell fine of human medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, abundantly producing calcitonin (Ct) and related hormones, has proved remarkably useful as an endocrine tumor model for the study of the secretion mechanism. This cell line (TT cell) was used in studies to elucidate the dynamics of the release of Ct and chromogranin (Cg) to culture medium. The studies evaluated the intracellular concentration of Ct and Cg and the concentration changes elicited by the protein kinase C activator, phorbol ester (TPA); the adenylate cyclase-associated protein kinase A activator, forskolin; and the calcium ionophore, A23187. In addition, immunogold labeling of Ct and Cg was carried out to investigate the ultrastructural changes resulting from the stimulations. All these secretagogues effected the release of Ct and Cg into the medium in a dose-dependent manner, and the rate of the increase in the Ct secretion was consistently and markedly higher than that of Cg in more than certain dosages of the secretagogues. Most cells contained secretory granules immunolabeled for both Ct and Cg, and a considerable decrease was noted in the poststimulation count of the granules containing both substances, with the cells retaining more Cg than Ct. The discordance may be explained by different secretory pathways of the two proteins or different rates of synthesis.
